Amazon.com description:Product Description: It is easy to forget that every development in the history of the American information industry Ã¢ÂÂ from the telephone to radio to film Ã¢ÂÂ once existed in an open and chaotic marketplace inhabited by entrepreneurs and utopians, just as the Internet does today. Each of these, however, grew to be dominated by a monopolist or cartel. In this pathbreaking book, Tim Wu asks: will the Internet follow the same fate? Could the Web Ã¢ÂÂ the entire flow of American information Ã¢ÂÂ come to be ruled by a corporate leviathan in possession of Ã¢ÂÂthe master switchÃ¢ÂÂ? Analyzing the strategic maneuvers of todayÃ¢ÂÂs great information powers Ã¢ÂÂ Apple, Google, and an eerily resurgent AT&T Ã¢ÂÂ Wu uncovers a time-honored pattern in which invention begets industry and industry begets empire. He shows how a battle royal for the InternetÃ¢ÂÂs future is brewing, and this is one war we dare not tune out. Ã¢ÂÂFascinating, balanced, and rigorousÃ¢ÂÂa tour de force.Ã¢ÂÂ Ã¢ÂÂ The New York Review of Books Ã¢ÂÂEntertaining. . . . ThereÃ¢ÂÂs a sharp insight and a surprising fact on nearly every page of WuÃ¢ÂÂs masterful survey.Ã¢ÂÂ Ã¢ÂÂ The Boston Globe
